A young Jehovah’s Witness falls into a deep depression when he is expelled from his religious community. He mysteriously wakes up in the hospital morgue alongside an out gay man, who has died prematurely. Tensions rise, as it quickly becomes clear that the two men both lived and died in very different ways. Now, as they take time to understand each other’s journeys, trading opposing views on sex, love, and religion, they learn that their way out is not just to talk, but to listen.
The Witness (2023) is currently not available on any services.
